'1 Claim; '(o'l. 251 48) The object of the invention is to provide an improvement in valves particularly of the globe valve fonn'in' which increasing pressure will tend to apply the valve more firmly to its seat, 'so that where the pressure'increases' the tendency will be to tighten the seating of the valve rather than to permit leakage; to provide'a valve of the globe valveorder in'whi'chthe full opening and closing movements may be effected by. a comparativelysmall degree of movement of the actuating means; to provide a valve'in whichtheparts may be readily assembled or disassembled for repair or replacement of. the parts; and generally to provide a valvewhich is of simple form and susceptible of cheap manufacture...11U I Withthis objectin view, the invention consistsin a-constructio'n and combination of parts of which a preferred embodiment is illustrated in the accompanying drawing but to which embodiment the invention is not to be restricted. Continued use in practice may dictate certain changes or alterations and the right is claimed to make any which fall within the scope of the annexed claim.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a central vertical sectional view of a valve constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the valve plug.

Figure 3 is an elevational view of the removable cam ring.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the valve plug actuating head.

Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 1 butshowing a modified form of the invention.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the actuating head for the valve plug shown in Figure 5.

Figure 7 is a top plan view of the valve plug of the structure shown in Figure 5.

The case or shell '10 in which the parts of the valve are mounted is of the general form of the conventional globe valve, being interiorly formed with a web 11 centrally provided, as at 12, with a port by means of which communication is effected between the opposite sides of the case or shell as defined by the web. The shell is internally threaded as at 14 for connection with discharge and supply pipes. The shell, opposite the web'is formed with a ring portion 15 both exteriorly and interiorly threaded, the interior threads being for the reception of the cam ring 16 which on diametrically opposite sides is provided with the spirally arranged slots 17 which extend clear through the wall of thecam ring. The cam ring is bored to permit sliding movement angular or turning movement be imparted to the plug 18, it will, by'rea'son of the cam slots,

18 therein, the latter being be moved axially toward and away from the web 11 and will either seatflthe' valve cone20 in the port 12 to close'the latter: or withdraw it from the port. 'The valve'port 12 is circular with its'bounding wall arranged at an inclination-and the valve cone: 20 isiisimilarly formed,

except that it is of pliable material, preferably fiber, and is hollowed out, .so- 1that itis really a thin-walled structure.

Theplug' 18 on :its under face is recessed to leave a peripheral flange-5:21; which together with the adjacent bottom wall of the plug defines a seat for the cone, the latter being'connected with the .plug by reason of an integral pendent stud 22 on its lower face passing through an opening in the body or web portion ofthe cone 20 and receiving a nut 23 which,

bearing against a washer 24, retains the cone in its seat on the plug. When the cone is seated, increase of pressure below the web 11 tends to force the peripheral wall of the cone against the wall of the port 12, by reason of the fluid, entering thehollow cone and exerting lateral pressure on the side wall thereof.

To impart angular or turning movement to the valve plug, a hollow actuating head 25 is provided, this being of an exterior diameter to permititsentering the cam ring 16 at the upper end. This actuating head is formed with a peripheral flange 26, the under face of which is formed at a downward inclination but the upper face of which is horizontal. The flange 26 bears, on its upper face, against a gasket 27 which surrounds the actuating head, and on its under face bears against packing 28, the packing entering a channel provided by the bounding wall of the actuating member 2.5 and the upper inwardly beveled edge 29 of the cam ring.

A gland ring 30 threaded to the ring portion 15 on the exterior of the latter, surroundsthe actuating head 25 and its top portion overlaps the flange 26 and the gasket 2'7 disposed thereupon. Thus the actuating head, by reason of its peripheral flange and the associated gland ring, secure the packing in place and prevent leakage around the actuating head but without preventing angular or turning movement of the latter.

Since the actuating head may move angularly but not axially and since it is designed to actuate ment' between the two but not relative angular or unseat the valve cone 20. t

The actuating member 25 istfermed with at movement and to accomplish this the valve plug is formedwitha stem portion 31 which enters the bore of the actuating head but which is formed with a 'diametrical slot 32 which extends throughout ,its length. 'A diametrical pin 33 spanning the bore of the actuating head, enters {the slot and thus provides for or turning movement to therplug from a corresponding morermerit imparted to the actuating imparting angular head,- the cam slots 17, by reason of their operative' connections with the plug, imparting the 1 necessary axial movement to the latter to seat portion slotted diametrically. throughout its wrench seat 34 with which a wrenchbr handle a 35 maybeenga'ged andthe 'l a'tter, if desired, se

cured to the actuating member by the insertion of a pin 36 passed through the loop of, the handle and diametrically through the wrench seats,- 2 'Iheconstmetion 'ofthe modifledferm shown in "Figure 1:5 is identical with the construction shown in Figure 1 with the exceptionthatjthe former omits them run and has the'camslots 17'Liormed. in the ring portion 15 of the case -or';shell'10'. in order that the plug 18*: may be inserted in the "ring'lportion 15, so that its cam studs 19'willventer the slots :17',the slots 17* a, terminate injupwardly extending extensions 1-1'7;

opening on the etke oi the ringportion 15-; 1 The ring portion, 15* onlyexteriorly threaded, so that :the supplemental ring member 37 may be attached,;this member acting as a guide'for the valve plug actuating head 25*, whicirisidentical the valve plug. actuating ber 37 is beveled inwardlytoward the bore and y it is externally threaded at this point to receive the gland ring 30 and permit the retention of the packing 26" and the gasket 27.

In operation,the construction of Figure functions in the same manner as the structure of Figure 1.

The invention having been described, what is' claimed as new and usefulis:

A valve comprising aycase lorme'd interiorly with a web portion having a port therein, a plug having a port closing member carried thereby, the plug having a cross-sectionally circular stem length, aghollowaetuating head telescoping the stem portion and'formed at its lower end with '-a--"diam'etricall'y arranged-pin traversing the slot ;.in,said stem portion to permit relative axial movement of the plug and actuating member butrpreclwielrelatim angular ;or turning movemerit, .a cam ring within the case in surrounding relation to the hollow actuating member and the plug, andpdiametrically-arranged studs on "the periphery of the :plug, the, camrring being formed withudiametrically opposite spiral slots 11 4811 angular extentiinexcees-oi ninety degrees and the studs on the plug traversing. said slots, the actuating member formed with; a ;p'e-- rip'heral flange, a gasket m surrounding-relation to the actuating member and the flange and 1 theupper edges of the catering and? case, andiza gland ring sthreadingiy engaged. with the case amii'm overlapping "relation to .the flange of the actuating: member; i I
